Description
Lanes compares how each side of a conflict, plus press in neutral countries, reports the same events. It reads each side's press in its own language, lines up the accounts and labels each claim as corroborated, framed, disputed or single source, with links to the articles. 8 conflicts, 109 outlets (24 state-funded), a new page every day and a globe of 90 country relationships from GDELT. Daily articles are compiled by AI and labelled not human-reviewed. Free, no ads, no sign-up.

Could you build this?
Partial A web interface presenting aggregated news is trivial, but real-time multilingual scraping, entity resolution, and claim-level corroboration across dozens of disparate sources requires non-trivial NLP pipelines.
What it would actually take: Requires continuous web scrapers bypassing anti-bot defenses for 109 global news outlets, multi-language translation and embedding models, followed by a claim-extraction and clustering pipeline (NER and semantic relation extraction). The core difficulty lies in factual claim verification algorithms that classify 'framing' and 'disputed' claims reliably without hallucination or extreme bias.
